Acacia dealbata is a medium-sized tree native to Australia, cultivated as an ornamental in the Mediterranean. Small bright-yellow flowers grow in clusters, blooming in late winter and early spring.

Mimosa absolute is solvent-extracted from fresh flowers. Most production is in Provence (France), Morocco, and Italy.

Family Fabaceae (Leguminosae).

Mimosa aroma: sweet, floral, slightly honeyed, characteristic of classical French perfumery. Important in 'mimosa', 'cassie', and traditional floral bouquet fragrances.

Distinct from cassie (Acacia farnesiana, under letter C), both are Acacia but the absolutes have different chemistry and aroma.
